Turbulence Spotlight: [a net.film] by jess loseby

Needs IE 6+ and Flash 7 plug-in

David Crawford's "SMS" creates the narrative of the momentary encounter.
This work was created to be its distorted mirror. Personal snapshots,
harvested by Google using keywords, have been removed from context and
through basic digital manipulation new narratives have been imposed on
the captured moments. The progression of the film rocks the viewer
gently through two augmented perspectives in a series of 20 images. The
people and places are unknown but an intimacy is fabricated and
connections between unrelated incidents made.

BIOGRAPHY

Jess Loseby is an established net and digital artist from the UK. Her
primary medium is the internet. She exhibits in national and
international projects both on and off line. Her work ranges from small
and intimate online installations to large scale digital projections and
video.

Loseby's unashamedly low-tech net installations and video build
comparisons of the network and digitality in its frustrations, attention
to triviality and repetition as absurdly compatible to the female
domestic routine. Themes dealing with individuality and cyber- identity
recur frequently as do the faces of her three children who seem to be
bound up irrevocably with her digital self.

Jess Loseby is young(ish), has three children, one husband and no time!
